Reflect with Gratitude … Resolve to be Grateful
So here we are again at that time of year when we tend to scrutinize our faults, resolving to be better, different, new and improved. What if instead of all that garbage, we celebrated what we want to see more of? This New Year’s Eve while you are celebrating reflect with gratitude on the year of 2014. And when the calm of the New Year’s Day comes, resolve to continue collecting gratitude all year long. Your membership will help guide you along each and every week.
Now, for the exciting news! I have created the Annual Anthology, a beautiful eBook of the Inspiring Gratitude quotes, questions and eCards of 2014. It looks amazing! Please download and enjoy.
Wishing you gratitude, today and every day. Raise your glass to us, the gratitude collective. May we be interconnected, fulfilled, full of wonder, healthy, wealthy, and well.

This Week’s Gratitude Question
[su_button url=”http://www.ourgratitudecollective.com/activity/” background=”#178fb3″]What are you grateful for about 2014?[/su_button]
My Gratitude Experience Last Week
Gratitude is rarely the only option, there are always hassles to focus on. I experienced this on Sunday when my back ached from laying around reading most the day on Saturday. This was the very thing I was grateful for one day and the next I was complaining about it, and so was my back. I caught myself in the act of complaining and cut myself off with a laugh. Yes, my back hurt but it hurt from doing something that brought me a lot of joy. In addition to being grateful for having time to read I am also grateful for the reminder my body gave me to take care of it by adjusting my position, stretching, and taking breaks, even from relaxing.
Forgotten Gratitude
Last week I was also grateful for being able to take some time in the middle of the day to visit with friends, being spontaneous … My new printer that works through wireless, allows us to print from our phones, does duplex so I can conserve paper … Chocolates that I can eat without worrying … A new (to me) TV series obsession.
